Resumen

Este artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación sobre autoridad pedagógica en colegios que atienden a estudiantes de nivel socioeconómico bajo, pertenecientes a establecimientos de distintos desempeño académico. El estudio tiene como principal objetivo caracterizar, desde las perspectivas de los estudiantes, a los profesores que presentan mayor autoridad, identificando diferencias según el desempeño académico de los establecimientos. La investigación se realiza a 514 alumnos de Educación Secundaria, pertenecientes a seis establecimientos de la ciudad de Santiago. Los resultados indican que los estudiantes coinciden en señalar, sin mayores diferencias entre los establecimientos, que los docentes que ejercen mayor autoridad se caracterizan por desarrollar una excelente enseñanza, establecer un vínculo afectivo con ellos y aplicar estrictas normas de comportamiento. Finalmente, el estudio discute los nuevos significados de la autoridad que desarrollan los diversos estudiantes de sectores de pobreza de Chile.

Abstract

This paper reports the results of a research study on educational authority in schools with a population of students of low socioeconomic status. The study's main objective is to characterise, from students' perspectives, teachers who have more authority, identifying differences by school. The study sample were 514 secondary school students, from six schools in the city of Santiago. The results indicate that students agree that teachers who exert greater authority are characterised for developing excellent teaching, establishing affective bonds with them, and applying strict behaviour norms. Finally, the study concludes by discussing the new meanings of authority that these students from poor areas of Chile are developing.
